The flow developed in this bearing is asymmetric because the surface rotation axis is offset from the bearing sector axis. These bearings are used with circular saws to constrain transverse displacement of the blades. The pressure, load capacity, friction, and flow increase significantly with offset of the bearing and rotation axes, and they are sensitive to the sector orientation. Results are presented for two sector angles and a complete range of orientations.","PeriodicalId":114598,"journal":{"name":"Archive: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science 1959-1982 (vols 1-23)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130842003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Reynolds equation for the general case of a dynamically loaded infinitely short bearing is derived, where the lubricant is assumed to be micropolar. Detailed consideration is given to the dynamic behaviour of squeeze films in a short journal bearing under a sinusoidal load with no journal rotation. Various bearing characteristics are calculated, assuming a full film to exist. The micropolarity of the fluid results in more resistance to journal motion, thereby allowing smaller eccentricities for a constant load. The overall conclusion of this study is an increase in the effective viscosity due to the micropolarity of the lubricant. This theory may find application in lubrication when additives are used.","PeriodicalId":114598,"journal":{"name":"Archive: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science 1959-1982 (vols 1-23)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129203758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The work described in this paper is concerned mainly with an experimental investigation of subsonic turbulent swirling flows through annular diffusers having diverging hub and casing boundaries. The test facility was designed SO as to peImit different levels of inlet swirl. The static pressure distributions and the axial and tangential velocity profiles were measured with the help of a three-hole cobra probe suitably mounted at different cross sections along the diffuser length. The diffuser performance parameters such as static-pressure recovery, effectiveness, and the total pressure loss coefficient were then computed from the experimental observations. The behaviour of these parameters has been discussed to establish the effect of swirl. The presence of inlet swirl was found to increase the overall static-pressure recovery. A substantial increase in the pressure recovery occurred over the initial stages of diffusion and...","PeriodicalId":114598,"journal":{"name":"Archive: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science 1959-1982 (vols 1-23)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132530420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dynamic total head loss/incidence characteristic for the rotor section at mean diameter has been computed from the above data. The dynamic characteristic exhibits a loop in the stalled region. A simple numerical procedure has been used to obtain the steady-state loss characteristic and the time-lag of this loss. It has been found that the loss time-lag of boundary layer time delay corresponds to a value equal to 1.8 times the time delay due to inertia of fluid in a blade passage.

The formulations are based on the thermoelastic version of the Whitney-Pagano laminated plate theory, which includes thickness shear deformations. Numerical results are obtained for deflections and neutral-surface positions associated with normal strains in both of the in-plane coordinates. The closed-form and finite-element results are found to be in good agreement.
